RECMCIAN ZINI 1.-Mr. Bonham an
uounces himself ready fur action again,.
in a call, which' is
,published in the Pcnn
sylvanian of Saturday, for .a meeting of
the Pennsylvania State Central Commit
tee, on the 26th pros. "for the purpose"
as the call says, " of organizing the dem
ocratic party on a more perminent basis,
cansolidating it against the secret and
insidious assaults that have fur a time,
impaired its usefulness and efficiency in
carrying out our cherished principlcr,
and to render it impregnable in the future
against the approaches of the various and
dangerons-isins and delusions of the day."
Mr. P. has changed his tune. The.
days of bombastic " defiance" of the
Know Nothings are over now, and as Mr.
Bonham looks hack at the awful wreck
of the second Tuesday in ()etcher,
imploring cry chines up from th''
depths of humiliation in an appeal to tl
"friends of the rights of man," the od
and ends of all nations, to come forwat: 7
in general "fusion" and save the Loco
loco party from utter extinction ! But
"Babylon is fallen" to rise no mote !
DEN - We deeply regret to learn the
death of Mr. Henri Schumacher the
young.and gifted Violinist who was for
several years a resident of our borough,
and whose Concerts and exquisite playing;
will long be remembered by all who eve•.•

youth, at the very threshhold of a dis,
tinguished professional career. He died
last week, of consumptioryt the residence
of Bishop McCoskrey in -I)*Troit.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY VIOLATED.-
The Detioit Free l'ress intimates that
there will be no election of Senator at
the coining sessions, either in Illinois or
Wisconsin.. This opinion is based upon
the supposition that the democrats have
a majority in the Senate of each State
and will tale advantage of this to prevent
the wishes of the people from being re
garded. This shows how much that
party of demagogues values popular sov
ereignty !

The fee iiig whiCh has Owe birth to
this new, order of politics, has-41
with such rapidity over the country as
has no . parallel. The key touched a chord
which responded over the .whole country.
Other parties have planted their standard
and risen up in a comparatively short
period,' and have carried township, bor
ough, and in eourse f time, even county
and State elections. (Such were the Anti-
Masonic, Abolition, Anti-Renywd—sinne
other parties'; but they were local or sec
tional in their operations; they lacked
breadth and scope—they were restricted
by sectional lines. They caused great
agitation without accorplishing any grand
resuly — Where shall \Vt.!" find another par
ty that has been horn and attained the full
stature of manhood, in a day, as it were—
in a single campaign—a party confined to
no party, no locality ; which is bounded
by no sectional lines; 'which knows " no

THE P MOCIIACY NOT A UNIT
~InsSACHusETTS.—The whole country
has heard of the election of the single
democratic member of the Massachusetts
Legislature. The press, ever since the
election, has been declaring that the dem

that State would be " a unit," but, lo and
behold, Mr. Brown (that's the name of
the member) is said now to be a Know
Nothing, having defeated the democratic
candidate!

UNION FIRE COMPANY'S LECTURES.—
The first lecture of the course was dclivered
on Thursday eveninglaSt,by Prof. TIFFANY.
Absence from town prevented our being pre
sent, but we understand that a crowded audi
once of ladies and gentlemen,graced the oc
casion. The lecture was an elegant produc
lion on a popular subject and was liStened
to with great interest and sathilaction. The
Carlisle Quartette Club also enlivened the oc
tasion by singir g several appropriate songs.
The second lecture_of the course will be
delivered on Thursday: evening, Dec'r ith,
by Rev. J. W. :s;Evix, f t Tmerly President of
Marshall College, who has recently become a
resident of our borough. Subject—" Self
Education."
A correspondent has furnished us a more
particular notice of Prof. Tiffany's lecture,
which we 'subjoin:
,
On, Thursday evening, the 23d inst., the
Union Fire ompany gave 118 the first of
their I
,series-o levtiaes for the season. The C
lecturer - was Prof, W. H. TtreANY, of Pickin
son - Colleg,d. His subject, "-America . and
American Institutions:.
The first half of the lecture showed - that
the dcictrines of our Constitution and the
genius of our government are derived from
the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ. The
Professor gave bold relief to Christianity—
Pcolestend Christianity—as the very life of
our institutions—as the spirit that moved our
forefathers, and the light in which their great
deeds were wrought. Regarding this as the
great source of our stability and the great
reliance of the people fur future welfare, he
thought it a question of serious moment
_whether---the-vast---immigration and rapid - nn=
fitralizalinn et fiwei fpwrs, and especially of
Human Catholics, floes not endanger the
safety of Our institutions. The lecturer was
very careful to as-ow that lie had no hostility
to immigration and none to naturalizMion.
provided it he notioo speedy. He would have
foreigners become Americans inwardly lie
fifre they are made so ordwardly. He alluded
to seine recent revelations of — Startling im
port. But as the lecture is to be published I
forbear to speak further. - „. .The Union Fire
Cfanpany may be congratulated not only
upon so large an audience and large re
ceipts, but especially npOil SQ happy a begin

that 'they arc helping themgelves to
money but that while doing•this th 4 extend
a real benefit to the community.
